Ruben Studdard shouldn't have won American Idol

[Chris Blount]

To this day I still think he shouldn't have won and this is yet another reason:

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (AP) -- Owners of hip-hop clothing maker 205 Flava Inc. say they secretly paid Ruben Studdard to wear the company's bright jerseys on "American Idol," despite a ban by the program on such deals.

A lawyer for owners Willie and Frederick Jenkins responded Monday to a lawsuit filed by Studdard last week accusing the brothers of wrongly profiting from his image as the second "American Idol" winner.

The Jenkins' lawyer, at a news conference, showed copies of $10,000 in checks made out to Studdard's brother, Kevin Studdard, and his manager, Ron Edwards.

Lawyer LaVeeda Morgan Battle, who spoke on behalf of the Jenkins brothers, said Studdard told them to "keep this confidential" because the Fox network prohibits "American Idol" contestants from entering into contracts while on the show.

Ruben may have won the title but it's Clay Aiken who's cleanin up. Ask anyonewho has attended one of the AI concerts. They aren't there to see Ruben that's for sure. Should be interesting to see the full CD sales figures when they come out.

Clay has an excellent future ahead of him. This is yet another sad chapter from the 2nd season of AI.

I know war-dialers made an absolute mockery of the show along with the first seasons final results.
